seems simple enough...thanks guys

That sounds pretty good but I'd take it down to 250 and cook 3-3.5 hours.

I don't have any idea what I'm talking about though. I've never done ribs in an oven. I do know that you want to slow cook them though and 300 is way too hot on a smoker so it stands to reason that it's too hot in an oven. Maybe they're just steaming them inside the foil at 300 - I have no idea. You could also boil them and finish them under a broiler. My neighbor did that once and they turned out really good but I have a feeling it was more due to the Blues Hog sauce than anything else.

I also think 300 deg. is a little high. I would drop it down to 250 degrees. I'm not an expert at cooking ribs but I am a pretty good cook. I took alot of college classes that taught me alot of things.

I agree maybe even 225 for 4 hours or so... A meat temperature of 180 degrees for 30 minutes is about perfect.

If you have a baking dish with a rack, use that and cover with foil, maybe with a little liquid in the bottom. Apple juice would be good. That adds some flavor to the meat and keeps the ribs from cooking in fat. Not a necessity, just an improvement.
